To learn more about the town, it is necessary to understand the close relationship between the town with its territory and the sea. This is underlined by the old town overlooking Piazza Bovio, from which a view of crystal blue waters, the Canal of Piombino, opens until Elba island and the little islands of the archipelago, bordering the horizon and hugging the coast from the town center to the Gulf of Baratti (nominated by the Municipality of Piom- bino, for the inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage list). Everything through a pristine landscape of fragrant mediterranean wood and a series of coves and beaches hidden between the rocks. Towards the East, however, the view is lost in the other beautiful beaches that since 2008, have achieved recognition by the FEE Blue Flag. There are many reminders of its illustrious past with Appiani family (who called at their court artists Napoleon·s sister, Elisa Bonaparte, who gave the town a period of great splendor (enough to merit Kingdom of Italy. To learn more about this town, walk down the old town, starting with the oldest monument (built in 1212), the “Torrione” with its “Rivellino”, the only evidence remained of the com- munal age. Piombino 2012 E 12-16 C Piombino 2016 Open Water September 9-11 Swimming 8 Junior September Then, crossing Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, we arrive at the Town Hall, (www.comune.piombino. it), a twentieth-century restoration of the ancient “Palazzo dei Priori” that preserves its grandeur, turismopiombino.it). Here we are at the “Castle”, a beautiful Medicean fortress built between the thirteenth and the nineteenth century, restored in 2001, to host the “Museo del Castello e della Cit- tà” (“Castle and town Museum”), which tells its story through a didactic way. In the old stables and accommodation of the Court of Appiani, was opened, also in 2001, the “Archaeological Museum of Populonia” (the only Etruscan city born near the sea), where are preserved more than 2,000 - man settlements in the territory, from prehistory to the Etruscan period to the late-antique Roman.

It came down to us intact, so that it has often been called “Gardens of Tuscany” for its fertile plains, its pleasant hills, and the presence of a clean sea. It includes: Piombino, the ancient capital of the ancient Prin- cipality, situated on a promontory stretching directly to the sea with its piazza Bovio, and bound strongly to the history of the Etruscans. San Vincenzo, a modern sea resort, Campiglia Marittima, Suvereto (Orange Flag TCI) and Sassetta, ancient medieval villages placed on the hills, offering the visitor a nearly intact view, with its ancient walls and narrow and dark streets, memory and pride of their ancient history. Different places, but united in the philosophy of the true quality of life, tourist destinations for those who usually prefers the tranquillity and contact with history and traditions. A each other in an exciting and harmonious play of light. An extensive line of hills framing the valley from north to east, characterized by soft, rounded forms. - ding towards the valley, often leaving room for the cultivation of olive groves and vineyards. To the southwest, isolated along the coast and extended toward the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago just as to recall its geological origins, the promontory of Piombino, connected to the mainland by a wide Piombino 2012 E 12-16 C Piombino 2016 Open Water September 9-11 Swimming 10 Junior September The plain extends from the Colline Metallifere (Metalliferous Hills) to the coast, from San Vin- cenzo to Vignale-Riotorto. This landscape is the result of a synergy between man and nature, as the recent drainage works have favoured the development of both urban and agricultural exploitation. The spontaneous vegetation co- ver is very low here, and gave way to pastures and crops, including the predominating arable crops, and particularly cereals, and vegetables (artichokes, spinaches, tomatoes and melons).
